Guttridge Easyflo Mobile screw elevator

• Transferring granular or powdered materials from ground level to elevated processing equipment.
• Loading hoppers, mixers, or packaging lines in food processing and chemical industries.
• Moving bulk ingredients within a production facility where flexibility is required.
• Handling free-flowing dry goods in agricultural or pharmaceutical settings.

Typical throughput

For this class of mobile screw elevator, throughput can typically range from 1 to 10 tonnes per hour, depending on material density and screw diameter.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a 3-phase industrial electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz.

Material of construction

As indicated, the hopper is stainless steel, which is common for hygiene-sensitive applications. The screw and casing are often also stainless steel for similar reasons.

Discharge height

This unit offers a discharge height of 1620mm. Mobile screw elevators typically offer a range of adjustable discharge heights to suit various receiving equipment.

Hopper capacity

The 100Kg stainless hopper is a common size for batch feeding. Larger or smaller hoppers are found on other units in this category.

Mobility

Being mobile, these units are typically fitted with castors or wheels for easy repositioning within a facility.

• What types of materials can this screw elevator handle?

  Mobile screw elevators are generally suitable for free-flowing powders, granules, and small particulate materials. Materials that are sticky, abrasive, or have very poor flow characteristics may require specific screw designs or alternative conveying methods.

• Is this unit suitable for food-grade applications?

• How is the discharge height adjusted on these units?

• What maintenance is typically required for a screw elevator?

• Can this unit be used outdoors?

Buyers typically value conveyor systems for their reliability and longevity when well-maintained. Key considerations when purchasing used units include belt condition, motor functionality, frame integrity, and available spare parts. Industry sentiment emphasises the importance of verifying operational history and cleanliness standards, particularly for food handling applications. Common strengths include robust construction, relatively straightforward maintenance requirements, and cost savings versus new equipment. Reputable manufacturers' models tend to hold their value well and integrate readily into existing production lines.
